- puredanger 6y agoHe became the CTO of Cognitect. :) He's doing great.
- dkersten 6y agoHe did a community drive in 2009/2010 or so and a lot of us pitched in a little. Then he joined forces with Relevance to create Cognitect and that has funded his Clojure development since. Hopefully he gets a nice payday from this acquisition too.
